Aang was startled awake the second he met face to face with the ground. He scrunched his eyes and nose, then looked up; he could see Tophs's sleeping form on the bed and frowned, he walked up to the bed and stared at her worriedly.

"It's all up to her now." Those had been the words of the doctor.

He looked away and noticed the dying fire and quickly went to place more wood in the fireplace.

It had been two days since Toph fell to pneumonia, and hadn't woken up since then. He was genuinely worried for her now, wondering how Toph, 'The Toph', can get sick like this. He never thought about it; her being sick. Who would? It wasn't a possibility to him. Her character seemed to be anti-sick.

It was sad but it took her getting sick for Aang to realize, that she was still a girl and that she wasn't the tough stone she appeared to be.

When she hadn't woken up and a heavy fever produced he rushed her to the nearest village, where a kind old couple accepted them into their house. It also was the last night when he got a decent amount of sleep.

Heavy eyes closed as Aang sighed, "Please get better."

A soft knock sounded through the door before it opened; an elderly woman stood at the doorway, "Aang dear, please get some sleep. She'll get better, right now you just need you sleep."

Aang smiled appreciably, "I will, thank you."

The old women smiled and closed the door and Aang trudged to the cot set in the corner of the room, lying on it he closed his eyes falling into a deep sleep.

----...----

Toph lay on the bed feeling stiff as a bored as she cracked her eyes open and began to collect her thoughts trying to remember what happened last.

She sat up feeling sore, "If I didn't know any better it'd feel like I'd been on this bed for days." She paused, "Now that I think about it why am I here? On a bed? Weren't we-" Getting off the bed she notice's Aang's vibrations.

"Aang!" She ran up to the cot that laid in the corner of the small room. She sighed and chuckled, "I almost thought--never mind." She reached out to wake him up, but stopped as a heavy blush filled her cheeks, remembering the rainy night. She placed her hand over her mouth stepping back, 'He knows, he knows! My weakness'

Toph heart began to beat hard against her chest causing her to cough; she closed her eyes in pain and placed her hands on Aang's cot. Her breathing became labored and felt her mind coming in and out of consciousness.

Aang stirred in his sleep and slightly opened his eyes feeling a slight weight on top of him, "Toph?" His eyes widened and his sat up, "W-What are you doing here?"

Sitting on the cot Toph held her chest in pain, "W-what wrong--me?"

Toph let her weight fall to the cot and felt herself being lifted, "Come, you need to rest, you're sick and I have to make sure you get better."

Toph cough, her chest constricted in pain and gasped, "It hurts!"

Aang winced feeling useless. Being the avatar the only thing he could heal was wounds; sickness was not something that could be healed by any bender.

He carefully placed her on the bed, and placed her blanket on top of her, "Toph, try to be careful, don't do anything you don't have the strength-" Aang looked at the hand on top of his and left his eyes travel to Toph's face.

"Aang, it's not your fault, I know how y-" She coughed, and smiled softly, "I know how you are don't worry about it, I'll get better." She closed her eyes and breathed out softly, "For you anyways."

Aang looked at her sleeping form slightly surprised, 'Does she really know me that well?' He smiled, 'Your one of a kind.'

----...----

A few days passed before Toph was up and sitting on the table eating her breakfast. She felt much better and had begun taking vitamins to keep her level of health rising at a steady pace.

The old man who sat across from her stared with wide eyes as she hungrily ate her food plate by plate. He chuckled, "Reminds me of myself at your age, eat as much as you can, you haven't ate much since you've been sick."

Toph looked up and smiled, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and swallowed he food, "That's true but a stomach too full isn't good either, I'm just finishing up."

The door to the dining room opened and Aang walked in with a towel over his shoulder. Toph looked at him crossly, "You finally said hi to Appa, poor thing. I can't believe you forgot about him! Next time I get sick forget about me and pay attention to your bison, for crying out loud, you're lucky these kind people fed him else he'd be starved!"

Aang looked at her irritatingly and sat down on the table irked by her haughty behavior, and muttered a few words under his breath. He filled his plate with food and began eating. Toph stood up and washed her dishes. The air was heavy with a 'ready to kill' atmosphere.

The old man at the table stifled a hearty laugh and suppressed the biggest smile. These two young lively people brought him back to the past and the show was quite entertaining.

Toph dried her hand on the edge of her shirt and walked by Aang and flicked his head, "I heard that, and I don't think that's a very nice thing to say to someone you want to be friends with."

Aang looked up taken aback; Toph was smiling taking her tongue out. He glared back at her, then returned to his food, "Stupid girl."

Toph smirked and walked out and wondered until she found a back door that went outside. She grumbled irritated at feeling the heat of the sun. She put her arms on her sides and her eyes widened amazed at the sized of this garden and how…happy it felt. She walked around, 'There was a lot of love put into this garden.'

She touched the flower feeling the vibrations of all life in the garden until she felt someone tending to the garden she walked until she found them, 'Oh the lady who took care of us.' The old lady looked back. She looked surprised but smiled nevertheless, "Did you enjoy your breakfast?"

Toph nodded and walked towards her, "Yea, you cook really well."

She heard a small chuckle, "Well when you're as old as I am its going to be good eventually."

Toph smiled, "I guess that's true."

A comfortable silent passed as the elderly women placed new plants into the ground, "I'm really glad you're alright. The young man seemed to be going through such a hard time."

Toph looked at her as if someone thrown her off her mind's peaceful flow, then smiled wistfully, "Well its nothing new, he's gets like that, I mean, it's not like he really cares for only me-" Her eyes widened, "W-What am I talking about? I mean c-come on," she gathered the cloth on her thighs in her fists, "I shouldn't be talking like this."

The older lady looked at Toph with pain gathering in heart, "I'm sorry I assum-"

"Well Don't Assume Anything!" Toph stood up, "Oh" Toph stepped away, "I'm Sorry!" She turned around and ran off. 'What's wrong with me!?'

She ran through the house and bumped into Aang, "Toph?" He turned confused as to why she was running, "What's wrong?"

She glanced back, "Nothing!"

Aang watched her run off as he stood there frozen on the spot, 'Those were tears.'

"I'm sorry."

Aang looked back to see the old man's wife, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" She placed her face into her hands and a choked sob came out.

Aang walked over to her, "Don't worry about it, I'll find her." Then he ran out the house, 'Toph, what's wrong!?'
